Temperature profile data from STD/CTD casts from the KNORR from the Atlantic Ocean during the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / combination of USSR POLYGON project and US MODE (IDOE/POLYMODE) project, 1976-10-03 to 1976-10-19 (NODC Accession 7800010)

Temperature and conductivity profile data were collected using STD/CTD casts from KNORR in the Atlantic Ocean from October 3, 1976 to October 19, 1976. Data were submitted by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / combination of USSR POLYGON project and US MODE (IDOE/POLYMODE) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution STD/CTD Data (F022) format. Full F022 format descriptions are available at http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f022.html.

The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity, and other parameters. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t), and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals. A text record is available for comments.

Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy databasemaintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). Thedesign of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC ContentStandard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM).

Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact informationaccurately represents all available information from the legacy databaseat the time that this description was created. However, properattribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting orcollecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexactmapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to thisuncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in theSupplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, the NODC reviews metadata for allaccessions on an ongoing basis.

2015-04-22T00:00:00 - NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235. NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015.
